Robo Prize a clamed PRIZE VALUE of Millions of Dollars. The idea of offering prize-money to help advance technology is not new. Throughout history, prize money has motivated people to achieve great things. Lindbergh would not have been the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic if it wasn't for the prize money. In fact, that was said to be one of his main motivating factor!

We all knew this day would come and we all knew this would happen first in Japan. And local department store chain operator
Sogo & Seibu is ready to make it possible: You can soon buy robots who look exactly like you.
Right, life-size humanoids. The company isn't that sure about its idea though as it plans to offer just two robots for the time being. Sogo & Seibu says they'll start accepting orders in all of their department stores in Japan as soon as early next month. But if there are three or more people interested in getting a robotic doppelgänger, buyers will be chosen by lot. |

Now knows how to navigate around people in work areas, a seemingly simple, yet complex task. It can also share and coordinate tasks with other Asimos and dock itself at the recharge station as needed. These abilities enable the Asimo to be more autonomous in a workplace and bring it one step closer to replacing actual humans. Honda developed an intelligence technology that enhances smooth movement by enabling ASIMO to choose between stepping back and yielding the right-of-way or continuing to walk based on the predicted movement of oncoming people. Honda also developed a new intelligence technology related to ASIMO's ability to perform tasks such as carrying a tray and pushing a cart. Furthermore, a new comprehensive system was developed so that multiple ASIMOs can share tasks by adjusting to the situation and work together in coordination to provide uninterrupted service. For example, if one ASIMO is idled while recharging, other ASIMO robots will step in and perform assigned tasks.ASIMO identifies oncoming people through its eye camera, calculates traveling direction and speed, predicts forthcoming movements of oncoming people, and chooses the most appropriate path so that it will not block the movement of others. When there is not enough space, ASIMO will step back and yield the right-of-way. (newlaunches) |

Issac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics are a set of three rules written by Isaac Asimov, which almost all positronic robots appearing in his fiction must obey. Introduced in his 1942 short story "Runaround", although foreshadowed in a few earlier stories, the Laws state the following:-
A Robot Bill of Rights. (Ethical code for robots in works).
Ethics for the Robot Age - Should bots carry weapons? Should they win patents? Questions we must answer as automation advances. View by Jordan Pollack. Wired Magazine (January 2005; Issue 13.01). "My definition of a robot is any device controlled by software that can work 24/7 and put people out of work. The machines are not intelligent. ... In case you missed them, today's most popular robots are ATMs and computer printers. While our hopes for and fears of robots may be overblown, there is plenty to worry about as automation progresses. The future will have many more robots, and they'll most certainly be much more advanced. This raises important ethical questions that we must begin to confront. 1. Should robots be humanoid? ... 2. Should humans become robots? ... 4. Should robots eat? ... 6. Should robots carry weapons? ..."
A new set of laws has been proposed to govern operations by killer robots. (PDF format), The ideas were floated by John S Canning, an engineer at the Naval Surface Warfare Centre, Dahlgren Division an American weapons-research and test establishment. Mr Canning's Concept of Operations for Armed Autonomous Systems .

Joey Daoud is working on a video
documentary, called Bots High, about high school teams
participating in the BattleBots competition and he needs your help. Joey
writes,
For those who don't remember, Robot
Wars (1998-2004) and BattleBots
(1999-2002), were
much-hyped game/reality television shows featuring competitions between
remote-controlled
vehicles designed to look like robots. Contests consisted of massive
machines that destroyed each other in entertaining ways. The
hype eventually died and the shows were cancelled. What you may not know
is that BattleBots
spun off a high school league known as BOTSIQ which still exists and attempts
to add an
educational aspect to the competition. The BOTSIQ
championship will be held April 14-18 in Miami, Florida.
To encourage small businesses to invest in equipment, stimulus bills
over the last couple of years have offered the "Section
179" rules.
This allows a business to accelerate depreciation on equipment which
deducts from their income and therefore reduces their tax burden.
Rick Heflin of the 17-employee Custom Electronics Company
of Maryland was faced with the question when his tax bill came up and
decided to go for a new pick-and-place system.
The robot can place 4000 parts per hour and improves the firm's throughput.
Red Ring of Death victim Jasper Stevens decided to take an interesting
tactic with his dead Xbox 360. He dissected the system harvesting the
wires, RF shields, heat sinks, connectors and such to construct an
inspiring
bipedal robot sculpture that would make any hardcore gamer drool over.
The
ABE
(Autonomous Benthic Explorer) has used its on-board acoustic
transponders and five thrusters to scan the seafloor for over 15 years -
locating, mapping, and photographing hydrothermal vents, volcanoes, and
other features of the great deep.
Marked with "NCC1701" due to its resemblance to Captain Kirk's ship, ABE
has performed more than 200 missions collecting valuable data for
researchers worldwide.
But something went wrong last Friday on an expedition off the coast of
Chile and ABE just stopped - nothing was ever heard again. No word yet
on whether ABE can be located or recovered.
Steven Hawking chimes in on the debate about whether to spend
valuable resources sending humans on planetary exploration missions, or
to use robots.
After all, it's a lot cheaper to send a machine that doesn't need
oxygen, isn't sensitive to radiation, and doesn't need to be returned to
their family at the end of the mission.
But there are some legitimate scientific reasons to send humans
including real-time tweaking of the chemistry experiments looking for
life, and to initiate unplanned tests based on unexpected observation.
Also, the tax-paying public gets more emotionally invested in human
missions and would possibly be more willing to continue funding.
The ultimate answer is likely a mixture of the two, but exactly what
that mixture will be is still being hotly debated.
Popular Science and Google have partnered to scan and published 137
years of magazines full of inventions, interviews, and

Sorry. Believe
it or
not, when robots.net started in early 2001, there were other robot blogs
and websites already around. The oldest surviving robot news blog that
I'm aware of (and I'm sure someone will correct me here if I'm wrong) is GoRobotics.net. GoRobotics is
celebrating
their 10th anniversary this year. What's even cooler is that
they're celebrating by giving away great robot prizes to their readers
every month this year. It's not too late to get in on February's prizes
- just check out the GoRobotics

Aaron Saenz over at Singularity Hub put together a short list of
videos showing robots doing their stuff on the factory floor. These
machines work
tirelessly doing highly repetitive, and sometimes highly dangerous jobs,
hour after hour,
day after day.
Included are a few clips from automotive assembly lines where robots
have reduced human
labor requirements to around 24 hours.
Clips showing sorting, pick-and-place, and even a pancake stacker
application are also shown. The Dallas Personal Robotics Group
(DPRG), one of the oldest robot
hobbyist groups in the world, is forming a hackerspace in
Dallas, Texas.
For the last seven years, the DPRG was based in the Garland, Texas
warehouse pictured above but, in 2009, the building changed hands
and the DPRG found
itself out of a home. Based on the success of hackerspaces
in other
parts of the world, the DPRG decided the time is right to start one
Dallas. For those not familiar with the idea, a hackerspace is a shared
community workshop supported by a membership fee that helps cover rent,
tools,
and other expenses. The DPRG is a 501(c)(3) as well and will be soliciting
grants and donations to help cover startup costs. Membership is open to
all types of makers, hackers, and creators in the community and there is
already a wide range of interests that include robots (of course!), CNC,
welding,
photography, hydroponics, vacuforming, and ham radio, to name just a
few. The DPRG hopes to find someone willing to donate land and a suitable
building but will lease temporary space if needed to have things up and
running sometime in March. So,
if you're in Dallas, join up and
help out. Even if you're not local, they're
accepting donations from like-minded folks, so throw a few dollars
their way if you can.
The latest episode of the Robots podcast reports on two

Dvice.com
reports about a mysterious Robotic Shuttle that will be launched
April 19th. This is the first time I've even heard of such a shuttle
replacement. I mean, I thought NASA dumped the idea of a shuttle
completely and went for the super Apollo type mission to go to the Moon
or Mars?
So at a time when mothballing
the old Space Shuttle debate is going ballistic, what happens?
Well, it looks like the Air Force pulled a fast one and went ahead and
had it's own space shuttle secretly built by Boeing Phantom Works. The
new autonomous robotic Space Shuttle is dubbed the X37B.
Revealing a new Space Shuttle at this time is probably not going to
help the Obama administration with all the harsh
Space
Agency criticism they've been getting lately. In my opinion it shames
the Obama Administration and NASA because neither came up with this
dreamy vehicle, the Air Force had to. One could argue that NASA has
limited funds or how NASA and the Air Force is sort of two
sides of the same coin, yada yada. It probably shames the Air Force too
for not informing Obama they had a secret space shuttle.
Anyway, the Air Force didn't commission just any space shuttle to be
made, they had made a small, efficient, robotic,
autonomous space shuttle. It can go up, deploy some secret
payload, and come down and land
all on it's own the article says!
OK, well, details are sketchy so it's probably not completely autonomous
but it appears to be just as much autonomously controlled by robotic
equipment as the original shuttle was controlled by humans in the
cockpit. That's very impressive. Awesome. So... now that such a robotic
shuttle is
made public and known to exist, I wonder if the Air Force will let NASA
use it
for non-military missions? Naw, probably not.

| YouTube video | Cratchbot robot navigates with whiskers |
|
Interested in sensing things without using sight? So are the researchers at the University of Sheffield and Bristol Robotics Laboratory, who have developed the Scratchbot robot that can navigate by waving around a set of 18 whiskers. To design their sensors, they began by reverse-engineering a rat's whiskers using high-speed video cameras. After studying how the rat used the whiskers, they developed a mechanical system that was able to perform in a similar manner. The larger whiskers were then outfitted with a magnet and hall effect sensors, which allowed their motion to be observed. Then, instead of developing a traditional software-based motion control system, the researchers developed a neurologically-inspired system that uses an FPGA to simulate how the rat's brain actually reacts to whisker movement. The result is a robot capable of sensing the world around it using only touch. As a sight-based organism, I find it humbling that there are so many other ways of navigating the world that do not involve light. In this case, the whiskers on many creatures are sensitive enough to detect subtle textures and patterns in the world around them, and this works well as a replacement for vision in navigation. Cool stuff! [via neatorama] |

How-To: Build BEAM Vibrobots The key to Vibrobot movement is a motor (or motors) that employs an unbalanced weight. Pager and other motors used to create vibration alerts in consumer electronics use this technique. As the motor shaft spins, the weight on the shaft, being off-kilter, makes the motor, and therefore the entire pager, vibrate. Hook such a motor up to a little robo-critter with four fixed legs, and when the motor fires and the weight starts spinning, the bot will skitter across the floor.
BEAM robotics is the brain child of Mark W. Tilden who is currently working at "Los Alamos National Laboratory" in Los Alamos, New Mexico, US. BEAM robotics as described in the BEAM rule book: 1/: A description of what aspects a roving robot creature could contain. BEAM is a triple acronym which stands for:-| Biology | Electronics | Aesthetics | Mechanics |

reports about a mysterious Robotic Shuttle that will be launched
April 19th. This is the first time I've even heard of such a shuttle
replacement. I mean, I thought NASA dumped the idea of a shuttle
completely and went for the super Apollo type mission to go to the Moon
or Mars?
So at a time when mothballing
the old Space Shuttle debate is going ballistic, what happens?
Well, it looks like the Air Force pulled a fast one and went ahead and
had it's own space shuttle secretly built by Boeing Phantom Works. The
new autonomous robotic Space Shuttle is dubbed the X37B.
Revealing a new Space Shuttle at this time is probably not going to
help the Obama administration with all the harsh
Space
Agency criticism they've been getting lately. In my opinion it shames
the Obama Administration and NASA because neither came up with this
dreamy vehicle, the Air Force had to. One could argue that NASA has
limited funds or how NASA and the Air Force is sort of two
sides of the same coin, yada yada. It probably shames the Air Force too
for not informing Obama they had a secret space shuttle.
Anyway, the Air Force didn't commission just any space shuttle to be
made, they had made a small, efficient, robotic,
autonomous space shuttle. It can go up, deploy some secret
payload, and come down and land
all on it's own the article says!
OK, well, details are sketchy so it's probably not completely autonomous
but it appears to be just as much autonomously controlled by robotic
equipment as the original shuttle was controlled by humans in the
cockpit. That's very impressive. Awesome. So... now that such a robotic
shuttle is
made public and known to exist, I wonder if the Air Force will let NASA
use it
for non-military missions? Naw, probably not.

A long-delayed project initiated by NASA and carried out by Boeing may finally get to see the light of cold, beautiful day according to reports from the US Air Force. The X-37, a small, robotic space plane is set to make its first unmanned trip into orbit in April. Conceived by NASA as an unmanned re-entry lifeboat for crew of the International Space Station, the X-37 reportedly has a cargo bay of just 7 x 4 feet, and it has apparently been shipped to Florida for its maiden voyage, where it will be mounted to an Atlas V rocket for its launch into space. There aren't any other details -- the people running the project are keeping everything pretty quiet, but the shuttle itself is reported to have said that it's putting itself "to the fullest possible use," adding that that "is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do."

Robostrider The study of live water striders led us to attempt the construction of a mechanical water strider "Robostrider". The challenge was to build a device capable of self propulsion light enough to be supported by surface tension. At the scale where surface tension is important, the weight of a handmade water strider increases with complexity; therefore it was important to develop a very simple driving mechanism.
